“Thank you for taking the trouble to visit this section of my website and for making a donation to Els for Autism.”

“It is obviously a subject close to our hearts and Liezl and I know from our own experiences the impact it has on the lives of families touched by Autism. Together we are determined to make a difference. That is why we set up the Els for Autism Foundation and why we are working so hard to establish the Center of Excellence, a first-of-its-kind project that is designed to show the world what should be available to children and young adults on the autism spectrum. Many years from now people may remember me as a golfer and as a major champion. But I’d like also to be remembered as somebody who took the issue of Autism and did something with it. The rest of my life, I’ll be fighting this thing and I am grateful to everyone who joins with us. Your support makes a real difference, so thank you again.” – Ernie Els
